Grab Philippines announced the creation of Grab's Social Protection Program with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Social Security System (SSS), and Pag-IBIG Fund during Grab's Buwan ng Tagapaghatid Family Day celebration.

Under this program, over 1,000 Grab drivers will be registered with the social welfare services of the government.

"This program is a result of months-long dialogue and discussion with various government agencies, and we encourage all of our delivery partners to register to become members. We made SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG services available onsite in the Grab Partner Center in Marikina so that it will be easier for you to register," Grab Country Head Grace Vera Cruz said.

In the event, drivers learned more about the benefits of being a member.

The company is the 'first platform in the Philippines to roll out a robust, multi-agency social protection program for driver and delivery-partner welfare'.
